Use Ship Delivery Time Maintenance (5.5.7.1) to define ship delivery time (SDT) codes and associate one or more delivery times with them

SDT codes specify exact delivery times on supplier shipping schedules. Daily item requirements are divided into hour and minute buckets based on these delivery times.

Associate SDT codes with individual scheduled orders to avoid having to manually enter delivery times on supplier shipping schedules. You can also use Supplier Controls Maintenance (5.5.7.4) to associate default SDT codes with individual suppliers. Schedule Update from MRP (5.5.3.1) uses the delivery times associated with SDT codes on scheduled orders to bucket daily item requirements on supplier shipping schedules.

See Requirement Bucketing.

Residual quantities from multiple deliveries are always added to the first delivery of the day. Also, pack quantities are not split. For example, if an item is delivered in lots of 50 and your delivery time buckets indicate that 25 items should be delivered in the morning and 25 in the afternoon, the standard lot of 50 is planned for the morning delivery.

See Quantity and Date Calculations.

Use Ship Delivery Time Inquiry (5.5.7.2) to review SDT codes and their associated delivery times.
